Acceptable stay

quiet air conditioningwell decorated roomgreat staff servicesmall roomdifficult dressinghard bed
The air conditioning system worked very well. It cooled the room quickly and quietly. The room was also decorated well. Staff service was great, very polite and helpful.
The room allocated after the temporary room was very small. Getting dressed in it would have been difficult. I did not like the bed. It was too hard for my preference.
